From the moment Prince Harry and Meghan Markle became engaged back in November, their love story has been compared to that of a modern-day fairytale.
Now that their wedding day has finally arrived, however, fans have taken their storybook obsession next level, comparing the blushing bride to none other than one of Disney’s most famous princesses: Cinderella.
As Twitter users were quick to note, the 16-foot-long veil of the RL royal’s Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy gown was uncannily similar to one the animated heroine’s own wedding dress as it trailed behind her on the steps of St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle
Is anyone going to address the fact the Meghan Markle’s wedding dress is giving off some serious Cinderella wedding dress vibes?!? #RoyalWeddingDay #RoyalWedding2018 pic.twitter.com/m8ZFBGpbnG

There were other likenesses to be seen as well: Take a look at the Duchess of Sussex waving to the crowd from her Ascot Landau carriage.
With her princess wave and excited expression, the moment was eerily… familiar, no?
Sure, their carriages differed slightly, with Cinderella peeking out from beneath a covered roof and Markle in an open-top version, but otherwise, the historical scene could’ve been modeled after the fictional original.

Even their expressions were the same! As one social media user pointed out, Markle, 36, appeared to be just as starry-eyed gazing into her new hubby’s eyes as Cinderella was while humming “So This Is Love” while dancing with Prince Charming.

Prince Harry wasn’t left out, either: His admiration for his lady love as she walked down the aisle had fans pegging him for none other than Tangled’s Flynn.
